Comment:

 PHP treats `localhost` differently than `127.0.0.:1`.

  Whenever you specify "localhost" or "localhost:port" as server, the MySQL
 client library will override this and try to connect to a local socket
 (named pipe on Windows). If you want to use TCP/IP, use "127.0.0.1"
 instead of "localhost". If the MySQL client library tries to connect to
 the wrong local socket, you
 shouldhttp://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.construct.php set the correct path
 as in your PHP configuration and leave the server field blank.
 http://php.net/mysql_connect
 See also the comment at http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.construct.php

 I'll take a go at the codex.
